drive that the source computer is able to access after the operating system and
other programs have been installed. See “Making the ImageUltra Customization
Program accessible” on page 142 for more information.
To create and prepare Portable-Sysprep Image source files, do the following:
1. Install the Windows operating system (Windows XP or Windows 2000) that
you want on your target computers.
Note: It is a good idea to use your image-cloning tool to take a snapshot of
the image as it exists at this point (before you run the ImageUltra
Customization Program) in case you need to make changes to the
image. If you do not take a snapshot at this point, you will have to
recreate your image beginning from step 1 if changes are needed.
2. Access and run the ImageUltra Customization Program (IUBCP.EXE). This
program might be on portable media or a shared drive. See “Making the
ImageUltra Customization Program accessible” on page 142 for details.
3. Obtain the Microsoft Sysprep program designed for your operating system:
v The Windows 2000 version of the Sysprep program is available from the
Microsoft Web site at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/tools
/sysprep/license.asp .
You will need the following files: SYSPREP.EXE and SETUPCL.EXE.
v The Windows XP version of the Sysprep program is on the Windows XP
CD in the \SUPPORT\TOOLS\DEPLOY.CAB file. You will need the
following files: SYSPREP.EXE, SETUPCL.EXE, and FACTORY.EXE.
4. Copy the Sysprep files to the source computer as follows:
v Windows 2000: Copy the SYSPREP.EXE and SETUPCL.EXE files into the
C:\SWWORK\SYSPREP folder and C:\SYSPREP folder.
v Windows XP: Copy the SYSPREP.EXE, SETUPCL.EXE, and FACTORY.EXE
files into the C:\SYSPREP folder.
5. If you are creating a Windows 2000 image, obtain the SHUTDOWN.EXE file
from one of the following sources and copy it into the C:\SWWORK folder:
v Windows NT ® 4.0 Resource Kit Support Tools at
http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads
/recommended/ntkit/default.asp .
v Windows 2000 Resource Kit at http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/
techinfo/
reskit/default.asp .
6. The ImageUltra Customization Program creates an empty TAG file for
Windows 2000 (C:\SWWORK\WIN2000) and Windows XP Professional
(C:\SWWORK\XPPRO). If you are making a Windows XP Home image,
rename C:\SWWORK\XPPRO to C:\SWWORK\XPHOME.
7. Install any application programs that will be common across all of your target
computers. If you have any applications that you cannot make into a module,
now is the time to install them.
Note: This step is optional. You can include common applications as part of
your operating-system module or you can build separate application
modules and control them through your base map.
8. Make any other modifications to the image that you feel are necessary.
